WASHBASIN-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 11, 1911.

Patented May 20, 1913.

Serial No. 659,778.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EARL V. SANDERS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pawnee, in the count-y of Sangamon and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in WVashbasin-I-Iolders, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to holders 0r supports for wash basins.

In carrying out my invention it is my purpose to provide a bracket having a ring member hingedly connected thereto, the said ring member having an off-set portion adapted to contact with the bracket to normally sustain the said ring in a horizontal position with relation to the bracket, and the ring adapted to support a basin, which, when the water contained therein is used, may be emptied from the basin by the tilting of the ring upon the bracket.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this class embodying a bracket and a ring for supporting a basin connected with the bracket, the bracket being provided with a soap holder and with a pintle for supporting the basin after the same has been removed from the ring memher. I IVith the above and other objects of a similar nature in view, the invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts, set forth in and falling within the scope of the appended claim.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improvement, the dotted lines illustrating the ring member being swung upon the bracket to occupy a small space and the basin suspended from the bracket. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the bracket. Fig. 3 is a similar view of a portion of the ring formed with a finger or stop member.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, the numeral 1 designates the bracket which may be constructed of any desired material, and which is preferably of a triangular formation, the same being preferably pro vided adjacent its corners with suitable openings, the same being adapted for the reception of securing elements such as screws or the like, as designated by the numeral 2. The bracket has its face centrally provided with a projecting lug 3, the said lug having its upper edge parallel with the upper edge of the base, and the extremity of the lug is rounded. and provided with a lip 4E.

The numeral 5 designates a soap receptacle which is connected with the upper edges of the bracket in any desired or preferred manner, and the lower extremity of the base or edge portion of the bracket is formed below the lug 3, with an outwardly extending stud 6, the same being adapted to sustain the basin as hereinafter set forth, when the said basin is not in use.

The numeral 7 designates a ring member, the same being of a sufficient size to engage with the offset head or mouth 8 of the basin 9. The ring 7, is provided with an outwardly extending downturned finger 10, the same being pivoted to the extremity of the lug 3 as at 11, and the ring is adapted to engage with the lip a of the lug when the basin is positioned upon the ring. Itwill be noted by reference to Fig. 3 of the drawings that the ring 7 is split so that the said i'ing may be spread to accommodate basins of various sizes. The lower extremity of the curved finger 10 is formed with an offset stop 12, and the said stop is adapted to contact with the outer edges of the lug 3. The lug 3 has its lower extremity preferably curved from its point of connection with the lug proper upwardly toward its lip 4, and it will be noted that when the ring is in its normally substan tially horizontal position the base is effectively sustained thereon.

If desired the basin may be retained upon the ring and the water emptied by simply tilting the ring to a vertical position as illustrated in the dotted lines of Fig. 1, however, the device is intended to occupy only a small space when the basin is removed, and it has been found preferable to remove the basin from the ring and after emptying the contents thereof to sustain the said basin upon the stud 6 and also swing the ring to its horizontal position. It will be noted that the ring cannot be swung beyond a substantially horizontal position for the reason that the upper edge of the ring will contact with and be halted by the upper edge of the lug 3.

Having thus described the invention what I claim is .In a device for the purpose set forth, a lug having an under-curved face and its outer edge provided With a projecting lip, taneously when the ring is swung horizon- 10 a split ring, said ring having a doWnturned tally of the lug. portion on one of its ends which has its In testimony whereof I aflix my signature extregiity ofi'set, iczlhe said riiowntcillrned polrin presence of two Witnesses.
